CHRPATH(1) change rpath/runpath in binaries CHRPATH(1)
NAME
chrpath - change the rpath or runpath in binaries
SYNOPSIS
chrpath [ -v | --version ] [ -d | --delete ] [ -r <path> | --replace
<path> ] [ -c | --convert ] [ -l | --list ] [ -h | --help ] <program> [
<program> ... ]
DESCRIPTION
chrpath changes, lists or removes the rpath or runpath setting in a bi-
nary. The rpath, or runpath if it is present, is where the runtime
linker should look for the libraries needed for a program.
OPTIONS
-v | --version
Display program version number
-d | --delete
Delete current rpath or runpath setting
-c | --convert
Convert the rpath setting into a runpath setting
-r <path> | --replace <path>
Replace current rpath or runpath setting with the path given.
The new path must be shorter or the same length as the current
path.
-k | --keepgoing
Do not fail on first error, but process all arguments before re-
turning the error.
-l | --list
List the current rpath or runpath (default)
-h | --help
Show usage information.
EXIT STATUS
0 If all operations were successful
>0 if one of the operations failed. A failing operation terminates
the program unless -k is specified.
BUGS
This program cannot create an RPATH tag if the ELF does not have one,
and it can only replace an RPATH with one of equal or shorter length.
(Moving ELF sections following a lengthened string table would be dif-
ficult and error-prone at best, and is sometimes outright impossible
due to issues like limited ranges in jump instructions.)
